Chinese foreign ministry Wang Yi spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart Tuesday, offering to play a role in ending the conflict as Beijing faces international criticism for appearing to stand by Russia following the invasion.
Ukraine said foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba had pushed Mr. Wang to pressure Russia to stop the war. The Chinese readout said Kiev “is willing to strengthen communication with China and looks forward to China’s mediation to achieve a ceasefire.” But despite a closeness to Russia, Beijing is a long-time opponent of intervention, and the disruption to European logistics caused by the war is already causing economic problems in China, as is the knock on effect of new sanctions against Moscow. China is also one of the only countries with strong ties to Russia and Ukraine - Kiev is a member of Mr. Xi’s signature Belt and Road Initiative - giving it a potentially unique role to play as an interlocutor.
Speaking to the Globe ahead of Tuesday’s call, Wang Huiyao, an influential Beijing based analyst and president of the Centre for China and Globalization, said Beijing “wants to see this thing get resolved as soon as possible.”
Let him try... they speak the same language...
Wishful thinking?
Finally!
Canada's best bet is to approach the world largest democracy India to persuade Russia.. After all Canada and India share the same democratic values.
Fake news.. China has not changed its stand: Nato stops expansion.. And world peace....
CCP is still supporting Putin by defending him on social media and employing trolls to broadcast pro-Russian invasion messaging.
World wake-up. Putin practically 'screwed up' the world by ordering military operation in breakaway region of Ukraine, pretending as 'peacekeepers'. Instead he invaded & bombed Kyiv the capital of Ukraine (700 miles away from breakaway region) & other cities, killing civilians.
